Use the precise, albeit slower, precise RSS counter sums for the OOM
killer task selection and console dumps. The approximated value is too
imprecise on large many-core systems.
The following rss tracking issues were noted by Sweet Tea Dorminy [1],
which lead to picking wrong tasks as OOM kill target:
Recently, several internal services had an RSS usage regression as part of a
kernel upgrade. Previously, they were on a pre-6.2 kernel and were able to
read RSS statistics in a backup watchdog process to monitor and decide if
they'd overrun their memory budget. Now, however, a representative service
with five threads, expected to use about a hundred MB of memory, on a 250-cpu
machine had memory usage tens of megabytes different from the expected amount
-- this constituted a significant percentage of inaccuracy, causing the
watchdog to act.
This was a result of commit f1a7941243 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats
into percpu_counter") [1]. Previously, the memory error was bounded by
64*nr_threads pages, a very livable megabyte. Now, however, as a result of
scheduler decisions moving the threads around the CPUs, the memory error could
be as large as a gigabyte.
This is a really tremendous inaccuracy for any few-threaded program on a
large machine and impedes monitoring significantly. These stat counters are
also used to make OOM killing decisions, so this additional inaccuracy could
make a big difference in OOM situations -- either resulting in the wrong
process being killed, or in less memory being returned from an OOM-kill than
expected.
Here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the prior approaches that were
used or proposed, along with their downside:
1) Per-thread rss tracking: large error on many-thread processes.
2) Per-CPU counters: up to 12% slower for short-lived processes and 9%
increased system time in make test workloads [1]. Moreover, the
inaccuracy increases with O(n^2) with the number of CPUs.
3) Per-NUMA-node counters: requires atomics on fast-path (overhead),
error is high with systems that have lots of NUMA nodes (32 times
the number of NUMA nodes).
commit 82241a83cd ("mm: fix the inaccurate memory statistics issue for
users") introduced get_mm_counter_sum() for precise proc memory status
queries for some proc files.
The simple fix proposed here is to do the precise per-cpu counters sum
every time a counter value needs to be read. This applies to the OOM
killer task selection, oom task console dumps (printk).
This change increases the latency introduced when the OOM killer executes
in favor of doing a more precise OOM target task selection. Effectively,
the OOM killer iterates on all tasks, for all relevant page types, for
which the precise sum iterates on all possible CPUs.
As a reference, here is the execution time of the OOM killer before/after
the change:
AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core (2 sockets)
Within a KVM, configured with 256 logical cpus.

Boot parameters prefixed with "sysctl." are processed during the final
stage of system initialization via kernel_init()-> do_sysctl_args(). When
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is enabled, the sysctl.vm.mem_profiling
entry is not writable and will cause a warning.
Before run_init_process(), system initialization executes in kernel thread
context. Use current->mm to distinguish sysctl writes during
do_sysctl_args() from user-space triggered ones.
And when the proc_handler is from do_sysctl_args(), always return success
because the same value was already set by setup_early_mem_profiling() and
this eliminates a permission denied warning.

init_lock has completely outgrown its initial purpose and is no longer
used only to "prevent concurrent execution of device init" as the stale
comment suggests. The scope of this lock is much bigger now.
These days this lock (rw_semaphore) controls how a task owns the
corresponding zram device: either in shared mode or in exclusive mode.
All zram device attribute writes should own the device in exclusive mode,
which synchronizes these tasks and prevents, for example, concurrent
execution of recompression and writeback.
All zram device attribute reads should own the device in shared mode.
Rename the lock to dev_lock to better reflect its current purpose.

Migration support for balloon memory depends on MIGRATION not COMPACTION.
Compaction is simply another user of page migration.
The last dependency on compaction.c was effectively removed with commit
3d388584d5 ("mm: convert "movable" flag in page->mapping to a page
flag"). Ever since, everything for handling movable_ops page migration
resides in core migration code.
So let's change the dependency and adjust the description + help text.
We'll rename BALLOON_COMPACTION separately next.

Let's stop using the page lock in balloon code and instead use only the
balloon_device_lock.
As soon as we set the PG_movable_ops flag, we might now get isolation
callbacks for that page as we are no longer holding the page lock. In
there, we'll simply synchronize using the balloon_device_lock.
So in balloon_page_isolate() lookup the balloon_dev_info through
page->private under balloon_device_lock.
It's crucial that we update page->private under the balloon_device_lock,
so the isolation callback can properly deal with concurrent deflation.
Consequently, make sure that balloon_page_finalize() is called under
balloon_device_lock as we remove a page from the list and clear
page->private. balloon_page_insert() is already called with the
balloon_device_lock held.
Note that the core will still lock the pages, for example in
isolate_movable_ops_page(). The lock is there still relevant for handling
the PageMovableOpsIsolated flag, but that can be later changed to use an
atomic test-and-set instead, or moved into the movable_ops backends.

In order to remove the dependency on the page lock for balloon pages, we
need a lock that is independent of the page.
It's crucial that we can handle the scenario where balloon deflation
(clearing page->private) can race with page isolation (using page->private
to obtain the balloon_dev_info where the lock currently resides).
The current lock in balloon_dev_info is therefore not suitable.
Fortunately, we never really have more than a single balloon device per
VM, so we can just keep it simple and use a static lock to protect all
balloon devices.
Based on this change we will remove the dependency on the page lock next.

Let's not piggy-back on the existing lock and use a separate lock for the
huge page list. Now that we use a separate lock, there is no need to
disable interrupts, so use the non-irqsave variants. We only required the
irqsave variants because of the balloon device lock.
This is a preparation for changing the locking used to protect
balloon_dev_info.
While at it, talk about "page migration" instead of "page compaction".
We'll change that in core code soon as well.

Let's centralize it, by allowing for the driver to enable this handling
through a new flag (bool for now) in the balloon device info.
Note that we now adjust the counter when adding/removing a page into the
balloon list: when removing a page to deflate it, it will now happen
before the driver communicated with hypervisor, not afterwards.
This shouldn't make a difference in practice.

Let's update the balloon page references, the balloon page list, the
BALLOON_MIGRATE counter and the isolated-pages counter in
balloon_page_migrate(), after letting the balloon->migratepage() callback
deal with the actual inflation+deflation.
Note that we now perform the balloon list modifications outside of any
implementation-specific locks: which is fine, there is nothing special
about these page actions that the lock would be protecting.
The old page is already no longer in the list (isolated) and the new page
is not yet in the list.
Let's use -ENOENT to communicate the special "inflation of new page failed
after already deflating the old page" to balloon_page_migrate() so it can
handle it accordingly.
While at it, rename balloon->b_dev_info to make it match the other
functions. Also, drop the comment above balloon_page_migrate(), which
seems unnecessary.

To avoid #ifdef in the caller we can instead use IS_ENABLED() and make the

Patch series "mm: balloon infrastructure cleanups", v3.
I started with wanting to remove the dependency of the balloon
infrastructure on the page lock, but ended up performing various other
cleanups, some of which I had on my todo list for years.
This series heavily cleans up and simplifies our balloon infrastructure,
including our balloon page migration functionality.
With this series, we no longer make use of the page lock for PageOffline
pages as part of the balloon infrastructure (preparing for memdescs where
PageOffline pages won't have any such lock), and simplifies migration
handling such that refcounting can more easily be adjusted later
(long-term focus is for PageOffline pages to not have a refcount either).
Plenty of related cleanups.
This patch (of 24):
When we're effectively deflating the balloon while migrating a page
because inflating the new page failed, we're not adjusting
BALLOON_DEFLATE.
Let's do that. This is a preparation for factoring out this handling to
the core code, making it work in a similar way first.
As this (deflating while migrating because of inflation error) is a corner
case that I don't really expect to happen in practice and the stats are
not that crucial, this likely doesn't classify as a fix.

Remove test_generic_01.sh since block layer may reorder I/O, making
the test prone to false positives. Apply the improvements to
test_generic_02.sh instead, which supposes for covering ublk dispatch
io order.
Rework test_generic_02 to verify that ublk dispatch doesn't reorder I/O
by comparing request start order with completion order using bpftrace.
The bpftrace script now:
- Tracks each request's start sequence number in a map keyed by sector
- On completion, verifies the request's start order matches expected
completion order
- Reports any out-of-order completions detected
The test script:
- Wait bpftrace BEGIN code block is run
- Pins fio to CPU 0 for deterministic behavior
- Uses block_io_start and block_rq_complete tracepoints
- Checks bpftrace output for reordering errors

When running tests in parallel with high JOBS count (e.g., JOBS=64),
the existing timeouts can be insufficient due to system load:
- Increase state wait loops from 20/50 to 100 iterations in
_recover_ublk_dev(), __ublk_quiesce_dev(), and __ublk_kill_daemon()
to handle slower state transitions under heavy load
- Add --timeout=20 to udevadm settle calls to prevent indefinite
hangs when udev event queue is overwhelmed by rapid device
creation/deletion

Add _ublk_sleep() helper function that uses different sleep times
depending on whether tests run in parallel or sequential mode.
Usage: _ublk_sleep <normal_secs> <parallel_secs>
Export JOBS variable from Makefile so test scripts can detect parallel
execution, and use _ublk_sleep in test_part_02.sh to handle the
partition scan delay (1s normal, 5s parallel).

Add convenient Makefile targets for running specific test groups:
- run_generic, run_batch, run_null, run_loop, run_stripe, run_stress, etc.
- run_all for running all tests
Test groups are auto-detected from TEST_PROGS using pattern matching
(test_<group>_<num>.sh -> group), and targets are generated dynamically
using define/eval templates.
Supports parallel execution via JOBS variable:
- JOBS=1 (default): sequential with kselftest TAP output
- JOBS>1: parallel execution with xargs -P
Usage examples:
make run_null # Sequential execution
make run_stress JOBS=4 # Parallel with 4 jobs
make run_all JOBS=8 # Run all tests with 8 parallel jobs
With JOBS=8, running time of `make run_all` is reduced to 2m2s from 6m5s
in my test VM.

Track device IDs in UBLK_DEVS array when created. Update
_cleanup_test() to only delete devices created by this test
instead of using 'del -a' which removes all devices.
This prepares for running tests concurrently where each test

Implement fsession support in the arm64 BPF JIT trampoline.
Extend the trampoline stack layout to store function metadata and
session cookies, and pass the appropriate metadata to fentry and
fexit programs. This mirrors the existing x86 behavior and enables
session cookies on arm64.

The added fsession does not prevent running on those architectures, that
haven't added fsession support.
For example, try to run fsession tests on arm64:
test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_test__open_and_load 0 nsec
test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_attach 0 nsec
check_result:FAIL:test_run_opts err unexpected error: -14 (errno 14)
In order to prevent such errors, add bpf_jit_supports_fsession() to guard
those architectures.

While making some maps in Cilium read-only from the BPF side, we noticed
that the bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto is incorrect. In particular, the
verifier was throwing the following error:
; ret = ctx_store_bytes(ctx, l3_off + offsetof(struct iphdr, saddr),
&nat->address, 4, 0);
635: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -144) ; R1=ctx() R10=fp0 fp-144=ctx()
636: (b4) w2 = 26 ; R2=26
637: (b4) w4 = 4 ; R4=4
638: (b4) w5 = 0 ; R5=0
639: (85) call bpf_xdp_store_bytes#190
write into map forbidden, value_size=6 off=0 size=4
nat comes from a BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG map, so R3 is a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
The verifier checks the helper's memory access to R3 in
check_mem_size_reg, as it reaches ARG_CONST_SIZE argument. The third
argument has expected type ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, which includes the
MEM_WRITE flag. The verifier thus checks for a BPF_WRITE access on R3.
Given R3 points to a read-only map, the check fails.
Conversely, ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM can also lead to the helper reading
from uninitialized memory.
This patch simply fixes the expected argument type to match that of
bpf_skb_store_bytes.

Gal reports that BPF redirect increments dev->stats.tx_errors
on failure. This is not correct, most modern drivers completely
ignore dev->stats so these drops will be invisible to the user.
Core code should use the dedicated core stats which are folded
into device stats in dev_get_stats().
Note that we're switching from tx_errors to tx_dropped.
Core only has tx_dropped, hence presumably users already expect
that counter to increment for "stack" Tx issues.
